High-Performance Fibres – A Review of Properties and IR-Spectra

High-performance fibres are fibre materials that exhibit at least one extraordinary property compared to conventional materials. That is frequently related excellent stability against certain influences such as fire, heat, chemicals or light. Also, a high mechanical strength often of high-performance fibres. Nevertheless, it should be noted weaknesses in addition their advantages. This review presents broad overview the most important fibres, with special emphasis on chemical structure and infrared spectra (IR-spectra). The categorization according substance classes was performed make easy for reader find interest. main categories polyethylene (PE) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polyvinylalcohol (PVAL) polyester-based polyamide-based polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polyimide (PI) halogen-containing polyphenylene sulfide (PPS fibres), resin-based finally inorganic Competing also discussed, structural can easily identified. In discussing properties selected applications, aims present various number IR-spectra tool understanding help identify unknown Here, beside reference common presented comparison.
